Robinhood is largely regarded as the crypto token's final piece of the puzzle.

However, as reported by Benzinga, Robinhood CEO Christine Brown dismissed the concept of the Shiba Inu coin being featured on the platform stating that the short-term gain Robinhood may obtain by listing a large number of crypto assets is not worth the long-term exchange for their users.
